Naseem Hamed (born 1974) was one of the most flamboyant and naturally gifted boxers of his generation, a featherweight world champion from Sheffield, England who combined showmanship with devastating punching power.
Career Highlights
- Professional record: 36 wins, 31 by KO, 1 loss
- WBO featherweight champion with 15 successful defenses
- Known for ring entrances as elaborate as his unorthodox fighting style
Hamed's bolo punches, contorted defensive positions, and one-punch KO power made him must-see television in the 1990s. His loss to Marco Antonio Barrera in 2001 ended his reign at the top.
